Iran’s Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Hamidreza Haji-Babaei, says a new law will prevent Israeli ships from passing through the vital maritime route at any time, according to Al Jazeera.
He also says the bill will prevent ships from hostile states from passing through the strait unless the countries pay war reparations. However, it allows other ships to pass through after obtaining permission and approval from Iran.
“Shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz will not return to what it was before the war,” Haji-Babaei says.
